People either think The Road is bleak and depressing, hopeful and redemptive.
The Border Trilogy is the same way, as is Stella Maris.
Blood Meridian and No Country for Old Men are different animals.
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️@christopherrufo
I read the first hundred pages of The Road last year, and read the first hundred pages of Blood Meridian this year, and in both instances, gave up, because the books never clicked. Lyrical writing, but the characters are reduced to way down Maslow's hierarchy, and the tone is so relentlessly bleak, with almost no humanity breaking through, it was difficult to feel anything besides the flint clicking against the cold steel in the overwhelming darkness. I know many of you love it, but to me, it's overwrought, overstylized, and overhyped.

If my kids are awake when I leave for work, I’ll tell them “I love you.” Usually my sons will just say, “OK.” 💪 💪

The straight vertical grain looks good in table legs, aprons, breadboard ends, etc.
Also good for drawer parts.
don’t worry about that for a table top, the cathedral grain looks better there.

You can find tight growth rings in framing lumber 2x8 and wider. Find one sawn just off center from the pith and you can rip 4-5” wide pieces from the edges, basically rift sawn. They make for a nice look for furniture made from construction lumber.

The only thing I wasn’t really prepared for with being a father was how frequently EVERYONE is sick.
This is almost entirely because of having a child in school but dang. I’m tired.

@BeSaintly Emarginated? I like to think the pope doesn’t tweet and it’s some weird Italian bureaucrat who’s spent too much time at the UN.

DEI so bad it's even hitting the papacy - totally vapid, impersonal and artificial language, reads like communist block drivel, horrendous

My house (built 2018) literally just collapsed and the studs turned to dust. Incredible compression forces were felt
Do you think the studs were 1 1/2” x 3 1/2”s??????

Something I've learned the hard way is that a 2x4 isn't actually 2 inches by 4 inches. It used to be, but not anymore because of course.

@SlumRNA_Dog Same dude will say “Fathers used to hang out at slop chutes instead of with their kids”

Everyone recognizes that a large cohort of young men in the world, especially online, have been failed by their fathers. Your measure as a man is if you view those young men with compassion or contempt.

Probably not. Honestly I get the sense that many younger posters on here don't *have* a father. Or they may have been estranged from an early age. We talk about "fatherless" behavior in women, but there is an equally clear version in males.

“I hope that strange panhandler doesn’t approach my beautiful family.” the exhausted fathers thought.

I love how zoomers seem to think it’s totally normal to walk around with their bare midriffs showing in the middle of the day in public. Like, no… anyway, here’s the attention you ordered!

FIRST LOOK: Val Kilmer has been resurrected via AI to star in the new movie "As Deep as the Grave." Kilmer was cast in the movie in 2020, five years before his death. But he was too sick amid his throat cancer battle to ever make it to set. Now an AI version of the actor is appearing in the film, with the full blessing of his daughter, Mercedes: "He always looked at emerging technologies with optimism as a tool to expand the possibilities of storytelling. This spirit is something that we are all honoring within this specific film, of which he was an integral part.” “He was the actor I wanted to play this role,” says writer-director Coerte Voorhees. “It was very much designed around him. It drew on his Native American heritage and his ties to and love of the Southwest... His family kept saying how important they thought the movie was and that Val really wanted to be a part of this. He really thought it was important story that he wanted his name on. It was that support that gave me the confidence to say, okay let’s do this. Despite the fact some people might call it controversial, this is what Val wanted.” wp.me/pc8uak-1lH1PI

“Catholic integralism” is the idea that mixing church with state for moral rights like banning abortion and persuing peace, are acceptable. Ted Cruz, who endorses using the state to carry out a holy war that ushers in the Antichrist, needs you to know those Catholics are evil.
